Hong Kong's leader has urged the city not to be fixated on a "0+0" Covid-19 arrangement which would end all restrictions for travellers, while reassuring the public he will lift more pandemic curbs even as caseloads rise in mainland China.
"Everyone has a different understanding of '0+0'. Therefore, I am not going to describe whether we are in [a stage] of 'zero-plus-what'," Chief Executive John Lee said on Tuesday, referring to demands to lift the three-day medical surveillance mandate for all inbound travellers, under the current '0+3' policy.
